hi, i have a
*Sony VAIO
*VPCZ128GG
*Processor i7
*RAM 8GB
*SSD 4x64=256GB RAID0 Intel ATA RAID
*Graphic card GeForce 1GB
when i run the PCBSD 9.0 32bit or 64 bit. it get to the point in booting
*Autoconfiguring X Server . . . Done
and then it reboots and continues to do the same allover again. i tried windows 7 and ubuntu it works fine it sees the RAID0 i also tried FreeBSD but when i get to choosing the disk i see 4 disks instead of the 256 RAID0.

thank you,

I had to look it up. Apparently, a notebook with 4 SSD drives in RAID0 exists :)
Don't you mind the absence of TRIM?

In the FreeBSD 9.0R (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes.html) release notes, graid(8) (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=graid&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE) is mentioned. That is probably what you need, together with the ability to partition in a shell. Can the PC-BSD installer do that? (I have no experience with firmware RAID in BSD.)
